Accurate long-term forecasting of the precise location and level of severity of these phenomena, through data assimilation and numerical weather prediction techniques, is beyond the present state of the art. Operational radars, however, can detect these phenomena and provide local warn - ings of approaching severe events; they can also detect the rotating mesocyclones in severe storms that are precursors to the development of tornadoes at the Earth’s surface.134 Ground-based coastal and airborne radars can also measure the severity of approaching hurricanes and define their most intense landfall positions for evacu - ation warnings.135,136 Tornado Detection. A single doppler radar can measure only the radial compo - nent of the vector wind field. |
The various amplifier transmitters, however, are generally capable of higher power than the magnetron oscillator. Amplifiers are of greater inherent stability, which is of importance for MTI and other doppler radars, and they can generate more conveniently than can power oscillators the modulated waveforms needed for pulse-compression radar. Power oscillators, therefore, are likely to be found in applications where small size and portability are important and when the stability and high power of the.amplifier transmitter are not required. |

Each of the interferometer ports produces a (complex-valued) range-doppler “image” that could be called a “SAR” image, since it was formed from a coherent sequence of pulses, and the subsequent complex pair-wise combining of these images with the proper relative complex weighting to null the clutter can be considered as an InSAR process. On the other hand, to avoid confusion with the type of interferometric SAR that is used for target height measurement, the Joint STARS team typically refers to their process as “Clutter Suppression Interferometry” or simply “CSI”.‡ Barbarossa and Farina43 show that, by using multiple subapertures, detection and repositioning of moving targets can be considerably improved, in an extension of the real-beam Displaced Phase-Center Antenna (DPCA) technique (Staudaher44). They developed a procedure for SAR processing using an arbitrary number of subaper - tures, separated horizontally, to cancel ground clutter and image a moving target. |
The Confirm dwell is used to manage false alerts and provide a range measurement for target detections. The Alert and Confirm detec - tion thresholds are designed to achieve overall false alarm time equal to conventional search (one every few minutes). Along with using the same PRF in Alert and Confirm, the time between these dwells, or latency , should be minimized to prevent a valid Alert detection from being eclipsed during the Confirmation dwell. |
A dielectric around the wires is equivalent to a shortening of the wavelength incident on the mesh. The spacing between wires appears wider, ekctrica\ly, causing the transmission coefficient of the surface to increase. On the other hand, the total reflecting surface is increased by the presence of ice, reducing the transmission through the mesh. |
The values stored in the map are milltiplied by an appropriate constant to establish the threshold for zero-relative-velocity targets. This eliminates the usual MTI blind speed at zero radial velocity and permits the detection of crossing targets in clutter if the target cross section is sufficiently large. ~hus, in Fig. |

The CCD, or charge coupled device, is one possibility as a shift register. The data on the synthetic display must be refreshed at a sufficiently high rate to obtain a Iiigh brightness and to avoid flicker. When a number of displays are used with the output of a single radar, a dedicated minicomputer can be used at each display position for the refresh of data so as to reduce the data-transfer rate from the radar central processor. |

If the guide is not used to terminate in a radiator, then energy is fed in by a small aerial stub at the start of the tube, and taken from the far end of the tube by a similar stub. The majority of guides used in radar equipment are of rectangular cross-section, to ensure greatest accuracy in design, and also, so the cynics would say, to simplify the mathematics! The ‘arithmetic’ of this form of link does, in fact, become quite complicated, because mathe- matical analysis shows that only certain types of wave- forms can be propagated along metallic wave-guides, and each of these wave-types, moreover, is characterized by a certain distribution of electromagnetic field over the cross-section. The velocity of the waves is different from that in free space, so the wavelength in the tube is somewhat different from the length in space, and this . |

The S-193 zone of access was 48º forward and 48º to either side of the spacecraft ground track. For selected measurements, the beam was pointed in the along-track direction to fixed angles of 0º, 15.6º, 29.4º, 40.1º, and 48º, with sufficient dwell time at each angle to permit averaging to achieve approximately 5% precision. RadScat data collected over the Amazon rain forest suggested that the uniformity of the observed backscatter would be a stable calibration reference for space-based radars, which has since been validated as a standard technique.132 SASS , the Seasat-A Satellite Scatterometer,133,134 was the first space-based radar designed specifically to measure oceanic winds. |
The third bistatic RCS region, forward scatter, occurs when the bistatic angle approaches 180°. When P = 180°, Sicgcl33 showed, based on physical optics, that the forward-scatter RCS, crF, of . a target with silhouette (or shadow) area^4 is cr^r = 4TTv42/X2, where X, the wave- length, is small compared with the target dimensions. |
Thus, one should be careful in using mean values for radar design; the median values are more representative. Billingsley17 presented his results both in terms of mean values and median values. Here, we report only the median values because they tend to be more meaningful for radar design than the values distorted by occasional strong targets. |
It lias been found4 that tlie backscatter is more sensitive to wirid direction at the higher radar frequencies than at the lower frequencies, that horizontal polarization is more sensitive to wind direction than is vertical polarization, that the ratio of rrO measured upwind to that measured downwind decreases with increasing grn7irig atigle and sen stittc. :trlil tI1:tt at UIiF the backscatter is practically insensitive to wind direction at grazing atigles greater than ten degrees.

One of the factors that is often misleading is the usual picture of an array as a single radiating face of relatively modest size. A single array antenna can scan but a limited sector; ± 45° in each plane is perhaps typical. Four or more faces might therefore be necessary for hemispherical coverage. |

Sampled-Data Operation.2'4'6 To overcome the limitation of tying up an il- luminator for the duration of a semiactive engagement, a single radar can be time- shared among several missiles. This generally implies a phased array radar, al- though mechanically scanned track-while-scan (TWS) radars can provide this option in some cases. The advent of phased array radars permitted a single transmitter to illuminate many targets by sequentially stepping its agile beam from one target to the next. |
It places a virtual short circuit across the capacitor bank to transfer the stored energy by means of a switch which is not damaged by the momentary short-circuit conditions. The name is derived from the analogous action of placing a heavy conductor, like a crowbar, directly across the capacitor bank.
